Dominick’s Closing Saturday; Shop Rogers Park’s 12 Other Grocers

As I’m sure you know, Safeway, Inc., is closing all of its Dominick’s grocery stores in the Chicago area, including the Dominick’s at Gateway Center,tomorrow (Saturday, December 28th) at 12 noon.

I have been working closely with Mayor Emanuel’s office, the Rogers Park Business Alliance, and Mid-America Asset, Inc. (the company that manages the Gateway Center) to identify a new grocer for the Gateway site. Earlier this week, Mayor Emanuel asked me to serve on a task force charged with the responsibility of seeking out new grocers for vacant Dominick’s stores throughout the City, including Gateway Center.

Given its location and the profitability of its Dominick’s store, I am confident we will identify a quality grocery store for Gateway Center.

In the meantime, I encourage you to check out the12 other grocers in Rogers Park that are here to stay. They are all locally owned and you don’t have to leave the neighborhood to stock up on most if not all of your favorite grocery items!

Below is a list of Rogers Park grocery stores followed by a map highlighting the location of each store:
